Again, what are your Playback I/O buffers set to?

Well, it is entirely possible that there is a coding problem within Altiverb that is only exposed by slight changes of things within X3.  This has happened before with a small number of other 3rd-party plugins.
 
I also think contacting the Altiverb technical support folks would be a good idea.
 
Can't you swap out Altiverb for some other similar plugin, and run Sonar in x64?

Hello Bob,
 
I think I will wait for version 7 / 64 bits of Altiverb. If it still occurs then I'll contact AudioEase for further support. It is just a question of weeks. Of course I can swap to another reverb pluging, but Altiverb is my favorite. The project at hand takes some time to accomplish, so no harm done while waiting for better days........ Everybody who took the effort of answering, many thanks.
 
Greetings,

Waiting won't solve anything if the right people don't even know there is a problem :)
If you are exclusively having a dropout problem with only this plugin in X3 there is a high probability that there is an incompatibility with this plugin and SONAR. Please have the manufacturer contact us via this form and we can work with them on troubleshooting it after we share the respective products.

Thank you for your offer getting in contact with AudioEase. The coming Altiverb 7 for Windows 7 64 bits is not far away. I understood from their forum that they almost redesigned the programming. Originally made for MAC computers, they transported the coding to Windows Vista/XP and other versions of Windows. Recently the redesigned the coding for MAC, which has been released some time ago. Now Windows is in the pipeline and what they said, it involved an almost completely new coding.
 
I can live without X3e for a couple of months, waiting for Altiverb. If the problem persists, there is plenty of time getting this issue solved. Don't be upset, please.
 
Still a very happy Sonar-customer,

I have not used Altiverb 6 in a long time, but reading this thread, I reload an old project that has Altiverb, using X3e 64 bit, reporting that there is no problem at all.
So at least, on my Win7 Ultimate 64 bit and Sonar X3e 64 bit, there is no drop outs and/or stuttering.
Before giving up, and trying to wait for Altiverb 7, which is like waiting for Wonderland, can you revisit the core parking by setting minimum and maximum state to 100%?
Also, did you have the latest driver for your interface? Just a long shot.

Altiverb 6 appears to work in 64 bit SONAR only if you maintain the tempo throughout
your project. As soon as you insert a tempo change you will get the behavior you have
described. We have been waiting now for five years for a 64 bit version of Altiverb and
I can swear to you there is no DAW in which A6 will operate without these issues. It has
also been reported that even in a single tempo project, A6 will cause subtle audio
character changes you may not like. Of course, if your music is shaking the house down to
the foundation, you probably won't be bothered by subtle. You could use another reverb
for the time being, or wait for A7, which Audioease has reported is now in late beta.

OK then I shall try to insert a tempo change and report back.

OK I did make a tempo change, and no stuttering or drop outs.
I just don't know anymore.  Like I said, on my system, it does not do it. Just my own experience.

I would get away from the thinking that this must be an X3 issue because previous versions of Sonar work better. All software has dependencies. Please check to see if you missed anything in #2. Also it is not just a rescan, a RESET may be needed (details in that post).
 
BTW the Intel speed step is worth looking at, its not dangerous turning it off whatsoever, and for me at least it is the difference between a system that works without dropouts and a system that does.  It has also been the case for multiple other forum posters that this has resolved their issue. That makes it definately worth a try and I can't think of any reasons not to try this whatsoever esp when you can change the setting back. If this was your issue and you didn't ever try it your issue would never be resolved so its irresponsible not to give this advice IMHO.
 
I agree it looks like a plugin issue but I suggest you should also check #2 esp if others are not experiencing the same issue. Windows updage , firmware and drivers esp... And again I strongly suggest using 64 bit Sonar.
 
Good luck :)
